Welcome to the Forum Archive!

Years of conversation fill a ton of digital pages, and we've kept all of it accessible to browse or copy over. Whether you're looking for reveal articles for older champions, or the first time that Rammus rolled into an "OK" thread, or anything in between, you can find it here. When you're finished, check out the boards to join in the latest League of Legends discussions.

Okay, whether Buckley is a good person or not doesn't negate the fact that he got 10k referrals, and is entitled to the rewards of getting that. The rewards page is a bit unintentionally misleading, but not outright lying, to people reading it. (Something saying "help us work on a champion in progress" would be more appropriate than what it already says.) So yeah, TimCAD got 10k referrals (which by the way means some people, not myself but others, clearly like him since there's no way he made 10k smurfs AND leveled them to 5 in the time he got to the number) and deserves to get his reward at some point.

And really, Spider Shark wouldn't be so bad of a concept. Personally I thought the idea sounded both funny and awesome. To those that question how a shark is on land, it is a *spider* shark. With legs. And presumably functioning land-walking-creature anatomy.

Who cares if people like him
Or not unless he breaks summoner code and be banned. He should be ablevto do what riot had listed for getting the referrals. Maybe it's more like giving suggestions and riot takes what will work.

For the record, the CAD artist/author understood that Riot wouldn't want a floating shark. He posted about this very thing. He did say that he'd work with his community of followers/fans to get design ideas.

The Champion design process is months long - so we want to bring someone in for a few days during a part of the process that's really rewarding. Ultimately we decided that it made more sense to bring someone in closer to the end - when the team is designing abilities, balance, etc which is where the most gameplay-impacting decisions get made. That however means that the concept itself is already pretty fleshed out.

Of course it's not a - "you get to drop whatever Champion you want in the game" type of thing =D. Our own designers don't even get to do that - it's a very collaborative process.

That being said, we're going to update the language on the page to clarify

so basically he can come watch and stfu cause ur gona ignore any ideas he might have anyway since it would be too late in the development process to change anything

This game is free, and they are letting people come take part it in, for free. They are giving people a gift. Creating anything for a game this big takes a long time, and they're letting someone be a part of it, for free. If your ideas are good, they'll probably listen. If your ideas suck, Riot is protected. What is wrong with this?

And for the people just replying to the OP, go read Pendragon's response.
